Lost Creek Cave

Postby Bradford1843 » Mar 25, 2013 2:41 pm

I went to this Cave about 4 years ago I believe it was?? Well I am in Crossville TN for a couple days and was hoping to go back there. But was wanting to make sure it is still open? I know a lot of caves are starting to become closed, espeically those on state land. I am from MO and all caves on State Land are closed, but I am unfamiliar with the laws in this area. Does anyone have more information on wheter or not this cave is open/closed or who the person to contact to find out would be?

It is owned by the State of TN now and they are currently asking cavers to stay out. The State says they are working on a management plan for it to be open in the future.

They must not be trying too hard to keep people out. I was at the property a couple weeks ago and while there about 5 cars and a church bus showed up with a huge group of kids and they all went in. Only saw one sign on the property saying it was closed and it was 10 feet up in a tree and it was on a paper that was almost the same color as the tree. If I had not been purposely trying to find it, it would have been very easy to miss.
